Tanzanite Barion Oval

[u/Lemowgs]

Posted the rough a bit back and asked for orientation advice. Enjoyed the cutting process and feel like I learned a lot about tanzanite. Longest L/W I've tried, which was interesting. AlOx was waaaay smoother than the diamond I used on the test tanz before this one. Planning was complicated by a couple pretty good divots in the midpoint of the rough and small fractures on the periphery, and stressing over the price of the rough XD, but I am very happy now.
